I got an interesting email today asking about “loan modification companies.”
These have sprung up like crabgrass in the midst of the foreclosure crisis, many of them run by former subprime mortgage brokers or real estate brokers who don’t have much work these days.
One Google [GOOG Loading... () ] search, and they pop up instantly with names like “ThinkDebtRelief.com” and “NationalLossMitigationCompany.com.”
The companies claim they will, for a fee (which seems to be around $3000), get you through the red tape of lender/servicer modification programs and get you to a rate or payment that you can afford. Some are quite reputable, while others are total scams.
